Where is the best place to find good prices on diapers?

May 15, 2014 1:26 PM

Not sure how I still have my black triangle, I haven't been around for almost a year!

Looking to buy some diapers in bulk. A decent amount that will cover me for the first few months after the birth of a child. I kids.woot periodically sells the 7th gen diapers for a decent price. Should I wait around for those? Anyone know of any good places (online or local) that I can stock up on diapers for a decent price? Thanks!!

Amazon usually has decent deals on diapers. Especially if you go with a delivery plan, like 3 boxes a week or something. That would also let you pay for them slowly and not have to store 20,000 diapers in the garage.

Costco. Their kirkland branded diapers are great -- unscented as their wipes are and you can't beat the price for the quality.
The newborn is 212 diapers for about $30, the next size is about 180 diapers and the price remains the same. you won't get up to level 5 which is almost like a depends...
Ithey have 5 off sales every trimester (3 mos.) and you can stock up then. Later if you need to do any stock rebalancing, they'll take back the boxes no questions asked. BUT... a few boxes last a LONG LONG time.

I must live in a depressed area. Local stores are all cheaper than Amazon. Subscribe and save with 20% off does end up being a little cheaper but with my twins growing as fast as they are its hard to predict how many diapers of each size they need.

I suppose part of it all depends on what brand of diapers your kids fit. Not all diapers fit the same. For my children they do well in Luvs. They leak when they wear pampers and Costco brand diapers.

My advice is that, wherever you buy your diapers, make sure they have a good exchange/return policy so you don't get stuck with a bunch of diapers you can't use. I'm sure amazon's return policy on diapers is probably pretty good but I've never checked it out myself.

When our son (now 4) was growing up we bought most of our diapers at Babies R Us or Target. BRU was usually doing pretty good deals (or at least deals with various add-on freebies like wipes) but Target was closer to us geographically.

The tough part though is that the whole diaper racket seems set up to confuse people. Every "pack" or "case" size has a name synonymous with "large" or "deal" and the numbers of diapers in each don't seem to make sense. Some times you get better deals (in terms of diapers / dollar) when you buy multiple small packs, so keep an eye out for that.

I often tried to keep numbers in my phone with recent retail prices from local stores for comparison purposes.

OK, I know most folks will probably go "Ew, gross!" but, wouldn't the cheapest way be to use good old-fashioned cloth diapers and wash and re-use them? And, that way, you're not filling up landfills with plastic waste that will still be around when our great-great-grandkids have to clean up this filthy planet. ;-)

My son wore cloth diapers, as the first-generation of Pampers were just hitting the market. Talk about basic, simple, messy items! He's expecting his first child later this year, and diaper selection is a big topic.

My first two kids we used cloth diapers, supplemented with Pampers, which was great becuase it was a diaper service that dropped off and picked up diapers. They even gave you the bin to hold them in and keep smell down.
The best bet on price is to find a brand you like and watch it like a hawk. Third baby we bought the "cloth" diapers that have the insert within the diaper. But since she is the third; most use Pampers. I have dound that the Sam's Club price is one of the better non-sale prices. Figure out a per diaper or per 100 price amount to compare different size boxes.

Use Coupons
Hands down, this is the way that I save the most money on diapers and wipes. There are almost always coupons available for at least $1.00 off Huggies, Pampers and often Luvs too. Combine that with sale prices and you can save a bundle, especially at drugstores. I almost always can get a pack of diapers for $5 or less and wipes for $1.00 or less.

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
